“I have shared my poem with my family and have reflected back in the poem. I would love it if your amazing poetry is shared around the world so all can feel how meaningful your work is.”

Norma's Visits
Norma visits Amanda’s classroom throughout the school year. These visits align with Amanda’s classroom thread words--which are words, like Courage and Identity--that guide each unit of study. Together, Norma and Amanda plan two lessons for each theme session: during the first lesson, Norma shares a poem. During the second lesson, students engage in an activity that helps them use Norma’s poetry and stories to make connections.
Outreach with Ricardo Flores Magón Academy
We began student outreach with virtual and written connections to students at Ricardo Flores Magón Academy (RFMA), fostering meaningful engagement and collaboration with another group of learners. Looking ahead, we aim to branch out to more schools, expanding our reach and building stronger connections with diverse student communities.
Hear From Our Students
“Your insights on racism help me to be more aware of how I treat people, and how to be more understanding.”
“I feel safe in this class to share my opinions when you are here.”
“From all of your stories, I remember that when you tried to tell your friends about the racism in your life
they didn’t do much, but when you showed them your story they had lots of emotions.”
